When Should I Buy Travel Insurance?
The ideal time to purchase travel insurance is immediately after making your initial trip deposit or booking. This approach ensures you are covered for any listed events that might occur between the time of booking and the commencement of your trip.
We offer 3 plans, these are:
- Domestic plan: Can be purchased up to 12 months in advance of departure date.
- International plan: Can be purchased up to 12 months in advance of departure date.
- Annual Multi Trip plan: Can be purchased up to 6 months in advance of departure date.
Key features of TID travel insurance plans:
- Overseas medical expenses: Coverage for medical emergencies, including hospital stays, and medical evacuations.
- Cancellation coverage: Protection against financial losses from trip cancellations or interruptions due to listed events.
- Lost or stolen luggage: Reimbursement for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage and personal belongings.
- 24/7 Emergency Assistance: Access to round-the-clock support for emergencies during your trip.
Buying travel insurance weeks or months in advance of your departure can be beneficial in case you become sick or injured, trip cancellation, or if a natural disaster occurs and your trip is delayed or cancelled. If you decide to delay getting travel insurance or buy while travelling you could miss out on some important coverage.
Securing travel insurance promptly after booking your trip offers key advantages:
- Extra coverage: Buying early means you could be covered for listed events that may occur before your departure, such as sudden illnesses or natural disasters.
- Cover for overseas medical expenses
- Medical repatriation if you're severely injured or fall ill abroad.
- Cover for lost or delayed baggage.
- Cover for cancellation or trip delay.
- Existing medical conditions: Some plans may offer cover for a number of existing medical conditions if the insurance is purchased within a specific timeframe after the initial trip deposit.
